' WVALL-TEXTURE COMPOSITION.

N Drawing.

My invention relates to wall texture compositions and the object of the invention is the production of a plastic composition to be used in plastering the interior walls of buildings and for any other purposes to which it is adaptable.

The composition in the commercial form consists ofa filler of. natural clay, a binder consisting of plaster of Paris, a coloring of Paris, twenty-one pounds of whiting, and live pounds of casein glue. The foregoing ingredients are all in the powdered or pulverized form or are rendered in such form and when thoroughly mixed the composition is ready for the market.

The natural clay that I use is mined in the State of lVashington and may be termed the primefactor inniy composition as[ Application filed August 8, 1927. Serial No. 211,644.

is spread on with a trowel or brush. It is very easy to apply and may be applied quite rapidly. lVhen thoroughly dry any desired finish, such as paint, kalsomine, or the like may be applied to the surface of the composit-ion.

My composition is adaptable for decorative impressions, durable, tough and aliost indestructible and retains some flexi- Having thus described my invention what I claim and desired to secure by Letters Patent of the United States is:

1. A dry mixture adapted to be combined with water and linseed oil to form a wall texture composition consisting of thirtyseven pounds of powdered natural clay, thirty-seven pounds of plaster of Paris, twenty-one pounds of whiting, and iive 3 material such whiting, and a sizing such bility and elasticity when dry and readily W as casein glue. adapts itself to all changes of temperature In preparing the composition i prefer to and weather] It is fireproof, impervious to use the ingredients in about the followin water, adheres without cracking, is comparaproportionsviz, thirty-seven pounds or tively inexpensive, and, in fact, possesses all natural clay, thirty-seven pounds of plaster the desired properties 01 a wall texture. 65
